Srishti: Architecting the digital tomorrow at India Mobile Congress 2026

The India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2026 convenes at Yashobhoomi in New Delhi between October 7 and 10, bringing together global technology leaders, policymakers, and innovators to address the need for global connectivity under the banner "Scale Without Boundaries."

Through keynotes, ministerial panels, and interactive showcases, the event aims to put together a roadmap for future infrastructure across four overarching themes: Samvardhan (Fuelling Growth), Sashakt (Expanding Opportunities), Suraksha (Strengthening Trust), and Srishti (Building the Future).

Inside Srishti: Laying the Groundwork for Next-Gen Tech


At the core of the conference is Srishti, a dedicated track spotlighting foundational technologies before they reach mainstream adoption. Srishti, which translates to "creation" or “universe,” explores early-stage breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, next-generation network standards, semiconductor design, and cloud systems.

The session will unfold in two structured segments designed to move from strategic industry perspectives to high-level policy frameworks.

The programme opens with industry keynotes featuring executives and international delegates, including Nicolas Sauvage (President, TDK Ventures), Hideo Fuseda (Vice-Minister for International Affairs, Japan), and Andres Vicente (CEO, South-East Asia, Oceania, and India, Ericsson). Speakers will discuss how early-stage capital and international partnerships accelerate deep-tech development, detailing the operational shifts required to move lab innovations into commercial scale.

Following the keynotes, the session will transition into a Ministerial Program focused on global digital infrastructure. Government representatives and regulatory heads like Vivek Gaur, Country MD and VP Engineering, Colt Technology Services India Pvt Ltd., will outline strategies for constructing scalable, cross-border digital frameworks. Attendees will gain insights into regulatory roadmaps, investment priorities, and collaborative policies necessary to support upcoming technological shifts worldwide.

As IMC 2026 sets the stage for the next phase of digital evolution, the insights and policy frameworks established during Srishti are likely to play a pivotal role in defining how emerging technologies transition from concept to widespread reality. The discussions here offer a critical blueprint for leaders navigating an increasingly interconnected world.
